What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer hog roast day in Cheeseman's Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
